In the list above the numbers refer to the embodiments according to their numbering provided hereinabove whereas "+" indicates the dependency from another embodiment.
The different individualised embodiments are separated by commas. In other words, "6+4+1" for example refers to embodiment 6) depending on embodiment 4), depending on embodiment 1), i.e. embodiment "6+4+1" corresponds to the pharmaceutical combination of embodiment 1) further limited by the features of the embodiments 4) and 6).
Definitions provided herein are intended to apply uniformly to the subject matter as defined in any one of embodiments 1) to 34), and, mutatis mutandis, throughout the description and the claims unless an otherwise expressly set out definition provides a broader or narrower definition. It is well understood that a definition or preferred definition of a term or expression defines and may replace the respective term or expression independently of (and in combination with) any definition or preferred definition of any or all other terms or expressions as defined herein.
Any reference to an active ingredient as defined in any one of embodiments 1) to 34) is to 5 be understood as referring also to the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of such active ingredient, as appropriate and expedient.
The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refers to salts that retain the desired biological activity of the subject compound and exhibit minimal undesired toxicological 10 effects. Such salts include inorganic or organic acid and/or base addition salts depending on the presence of basic and/or acidic groups in the subject compound. For reference see for example 'Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts. Properties, Selection and Use.', P.
Heinrich Stahl, Camille G. Wermuth (Eds.), Wiley-VCH, 2008 and 'Pharmaceutical Salts and Co-crystals', Johan Wouters and Luc QuOre (Eds.), RSC Publishing, 2012.
The term "pharmaceutical combination", as used herein, refers to a combination of two or more, preferably two, active ingredients, wherein the active ingredients are comprised in a single pharmaceutical composition or in separated pharmaceutical compositions.
The term "active ingredient", as used herein, refers to the pharmaceutically active component of a pharmaceutical composition. Examples of active ingredients, as used herein, are in a first group (R)-543-chloro-4-(2,3-dihydroxy-propoxy)-benz[Z]ylidene]-2-([Z]-propylimino)-3-o-tolyl-thiazolidin-4-one (COMPOUND 1) and in a second group methyl fumarate, dimethyl fumarate, (N,N-diethylcarbamoyl)methyl methyl (2E)but-2-ene-1,4-dioate, and 2-(2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl methyl (2E)but-2-ene-1,4-dioate, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (preferably dimethyl fumarate).
The term "simultaneous" or "simultaneously", when used in relation to the administration of active ingredients or of pharmaceutical compositions, means that the administration of a first active ingredient (or of a first pharmaceutical composition, respectively) is still ongoing when the administration of a second active ingredient (or of a second pharmaceutical composition, respectively) is started. Especially, the term "simultaneous" or "simultaneously" means that two active ingredients (or two pharmaceutical compositions, respectively) are administered at the same time, i.e. with the same starting and end time, as is for instance the case for the administration of two active ingredients comprised in a single pharmaceutical composition.
The term "sequential" or "sequentially", when used in relation to the administration of active ingredients or of pharmaceutical compositions, means that the administration of a second active ingredient (or of a second pharmaceutical composition, respectively) is started less than one hour after the administration of a first active ingredient (or of a first pharmaceutical composition, respectively) has been finalized.
The term "separate" or "separately", when used in relation to the administration of active ingredients or of pharmaceutical compositions, means that the administration of a second active ingredient (or of a second pharmaceutical composition, respectively) is started one hour or more (and up to about twelve hours, up to about 24 hours, or up to about 7 days) after the administration of a first active ingredient (or of a first pharmaceutical composition, respectively) has been finalized.
The expressions "to be administered in combination" or "for use, in combination" mean simultaneous, sequential or separate, preferably sequential, administration of active ingredients or pharmaceutical compositions.
The term "route of administration", as used herein, refers to the path by which an active ingredient (e.g. in form of a pharmaceutical composition in a particular dosage form) enters the body. The active ingredients may be administered by enteral (especially oral) or parenteral administration (including topical application or inhalation).
Examples of dosage forms which may be used for the administration of the active ingredients are tablets, capsules, pills, powders, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, injectable aqueous or oily solutions or suspensions, suppositories, creams, gels, ear or eye drops, nasal spray, skin patches, or aerosols. Dosage forms for oral administration, such as tablets, capsules, pills, solutions or suspensions are preferred. In case the two active ingredients are comprised in separated pharmaceutical compositions, said separated pharmaceutical compositions may be administered by the same or different routes of administration using the same or different dosage forms.
For the sake of clarity, relapsing multiple sclerosis means relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis which includes forms of multiple sclerosis with relapses. Examples of relapsing multiple sclerosis are relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, secondary progressive multiple sclerosis with relapses, and progressive relapsing multiple sclerosis.
The production of pharmaceutical compositions can be effected in a manner which will be familiar to any person skilled in the art (see for example Remington, The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st Edition (2005), Part 5, "Pharmaceutical Manufacturing"
[published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins]) by bringing COMPOUND 1 and/or a fumarate derivative which is selected from the group consisting of methyl fumarate, dimethyl fumarate, (N,N-diethylcarbamoyl)methyl methyl (2E)but-2-ene-1,4-dioate, and 2-(2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl methyl (2E)but-2-ene-1,4-dioate, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, optionally in combination with other therapeutically valuable substances, into a galenical administration form together with suitable, non-toxic, inert, therapeutically compatible solid or liquid carrier materials and, if desired, usual pharmaceutical adjuvants. Formulations for dimethyl fumarate are described in e.g. WO
00/030622 and WO 2010/079222.
The optimal dosing regimen (i.e., the magnitude of the dose and the dosing frequency) for each of the two active ingredients of the pharmaceutical combination according to the present invention may vary depending upon the route of administration, the dosage form, the disease or disorder to be treated, and the particular second active ingredient (fumarate derivative) applied. Further, the dose and/or the dosing frequency may be different during the initial phase and the later phase of the treatment for the first and/or the second active ingredient of the pharmaceutical combination. A preferred dosing regimen for COMPOUND
1 has been disclosed in WO 2009/115954. A preferred maintenance dose for COMPOUND
1 is 10 mg or 20 mg orally once daily, such as especially 20 mg orally once daily. A
preferred dosing regimen for dimethyl fumarate is disclosed in WO 2008/097596 (see also US 8,399,514). Most preferably dimethyl fumarate is administered at a starting dose of 120 mg twice a day, orally, for 7 days and a maintenance dose after 7 days of 240 mg twice a day, orally, especially in case of an immediate release formulation such as the one used for Tecfidera0. A preferred dosing regimen for a controlled release pharmaceutical composition of monomethyl fumarate or dimethyl fumarate is disclosed in EP
2316430. A
preferred dose for XP23829 is 800 mg orally once daily or 400 mg orally twice daily. A
preferred dose for ALKS 8700 is 420 mg orally twice daily.
The present invention also includes isotopically labelled, especially 2H
(deuterium) labelled active ingredients, which active ingredients are identical to the active ingredients as defined in embodiment 1) except that one or more atoms have each been replaced by an atom having the same atomic number but an atomic mass different from the atomic mass usually found in nature. Isotopically labelled, especially 2H (deuterium) labelled active ingredients and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are within the scope of the present invention.
Substitution of hydrogen with the heavier isotope 2H (deuterium) may lead to greater metabolic stability, resulting e.g. in increased in-vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, or may lead to reduced inhibition of cytochrome P450 enzymes, resulting e.g. in an improved safety profile. In one embodiment only one of the two active ingredients of the pharmaceutical combination is isotopically labelled. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the active ingredients are not isotopically labelled, or one active ingredient is not isotopically labelled and the other active ingredient is labelled only with one or more deuterium atoms, or both active ingredients are each labelled only with one or more deuterium atoms. In a most preferred embodiment, the active ingredients are not isotopically labelled at all. Isotopically labelled active ingredients may be prepared in analogy to the methods described for the not isotopically labelled active ingredients, but using the appropriate isotopic variation of suitable reagents or starting materials.
The term "about" placed before a numerical value "X" refers in the current application to an interval extending from X minus 10% of X to X plus 10% of X.
Biological assay:
The efficacy of dimethyl fumarate (DMF) in acute monophasic models of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) can be determined in a pilot experiment.
Female Lewis rats are immunized with an emulsion of myelin basic protein (MBP) from Guinea pig in complete Freund's adjuvant. A total of 200 micrograms of MBP is injected per rat at two sites subcutaneously (right paw and base of tail). Within 10 days the rats develop signs of paralysis which will be graded on a scale from 0 to 15 assessing the tail and each limb individually according to the method originally described by Weaver A. et al., FASEB
J., 2005, 19(12): 1668-1670. The disease takes an acute monophasic course and is self-remitting. Usually by day 21 clinical scores reach values below 3Ø
Groups of 10 to 14 rats are dosed starting at the day of disease induction (day 0) with different doses of DMF in the range between 40 and 160 mg/kg once daily (q.d.). Clinical scores are assessed on a daily basis and disease development is compared between vehicle-treated rats and rats receiving DMF (vehicle: 0.5%
Methylcellulose/0.5% Tween0 80). In parallel, body weights of the rats are monitored on a daily basis to follow general health. The experiment is terminated at day 21 whereupon hematology can be measured.
Plasma samples can be taken for compound concentration determination and for the measurement of protein markers. Different organs may be isolated and fixed for histopathological examination, particularly the spinal cord and the brain.
Spinal cord tissue preparations can be used to assess the degree of demyelination, neuronal loss and inflammatory cell infiltration by different staining methods (H&E, Luxol Fast Blue for myelin, MBP, NeuN, CD3, Nr12 and other markers by immunohistochemistry for demyelination, neuronal loss, T cell infiltration, antioxidant pathway activation and other pathways, respectively). Additional tissue samples may be preserved in RNAlater0 solution for analysis of gene expression.
In parallel to the measurement of efficacy of DMF in the EAE model, a second pilot experiment is required. Healthy female Lewis rats will receive ponesimod at different doses in the range from 0.3 to 100 mg/kg. The goal is to assess the dose-effect relationship of ponesimod on lymphocyte count in peripheral blood in this strain of rat.
Based on the first pilot experiment described above one dose of DMF is selected for the combination efficacy experiment. The dose selected exerts partial efficacy between none and strongest efficacy on EAE scores (dose 120 mg/kg).
Based on the second pilot experiment using ponesimod, the dose selected shows full efficacy on lymphocyte count reduction (dose 100 mg/kg).
The combination efficacy experiment is performed in the same rat EAE model as described for the first pilot experiment. It consists of four treatment groups:
1. Vehicle (0.5% Methylcellulose/0.5% Tween0 80) q.d., from day 0 2. DMF (120 mg/kg) q.d., from day 0 3. Ponesimod (100 mg/kg) q.d., from day 0 4. DMF (120 mg/kg) q.d., from day 0 + ponesimod (100 mg/kg) q.d., from day 0 In life and termination endpoints are the same as described for the first pilot experiment.
The goal of this experiment is to show that the addition of a dose of ponesimod, that is fully efficacious on lymphocyte count, shows added benefit to a partially efficacious dose of DMF in a model of EAE.
The results from the combination efficacy experiment are shown in Fig. 1. As can be seen from Fig. 1, both compounds, ponesimod and DMF exhibit efficacy on the clinical course of EAE in the rat monophasic EAE model. Ponesimod showed a marked and statistically significant effect while DMF alone showed a moderate effect during the ascending phase of the disease. When combined, the two compounds showed synergistic efficacy from day 16 onwards, where DMF alone had no effect on clinical score anymore.

In the list above the numbers refer to the embodiments according to their numbering provided hereinabove whereas "+" indicates the dependency from another embodiment.
The different individualised embodiments are separated by commas. In other words, "6+4+1" for example refers to embodiment 6) depending on embodiment 4), depending on embodiment 1), i.e. embodiment "6+4+1" corresponds to the pharmaceutical combination of embodiment 1) further limited by the features of the embodiments 4) and 6).
Definitions provided herein are intended to apply uniformly to the subject matter as defined in any one of embodiments 1) to 34), and, mutatis mutandis, throughout the description and the claims unless an otherwise expressly set out definition provides a broader or narrower definition. It is well understood that a definition or preferred definition of a term or expression defines and may replace the respective term or expression independently of (and in combination with) any definition or preferred definition of any or all other terms or expressions as defined herein.
Any reference to an active ingredient as defined in any one of embodiments 1) to 34) is to 5 be understood as referring also to the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of such active ingredient, as appropriate and expedient.
The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refers to salts that retain the desired biological activity of the subject compound and exhibit minimal undesired toxicological 10 effects. Such salts include inorganic or organic acid and/or base addition salts depending on the presence of basic and/or acidic groups in the subject compound. For reference see for example 'Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts. Properties, Selection and Use.', P.
Heinrich Stahl, Camille G. Wermuth (Eds.), Wiley-VCH, 2008 and 'Pharmaceutical Salts and Co-crystals', Johan Wouters and Luc QuOre (Eds.), RSC Publishing, 2012.
The term "pharmaceutical combination", as used herein, refers to a combination of two or more, preferably two, active ingredients, wherein the active ingredients are comprised in a single pharmaceutical composition or in separated pharmaceutical compositions.
The term "active ingredient", as used herein, refers to the pharmaceutically active component of a pharmaceutical composition. Examples of active ingredients, as used herein, are in a first group (R)-543-chloro-4-(2,3-dihydroxy-propoxy)-benz[Z]ylidene]-2-([Z]-propylimino)-3-o-tolyl-thiazolidin-4-one (COMPOUND 1) and in a second group methyl fumarate, dimethyl fumarate, (N,N-diethylcarbamoyl)methyl methyl (2E)but-2-ene-1,4-dioate, and 2-(2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl methyl (2E)but-2-ene-1,4-dioate, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (preferably dimethyl fumarate).
The term "simultaneous" or "simultaneously", when used in relation to the administration of active ingredients or of pharmaceutical compositions, means that the administration of a first active ingredient (or of a first pharmaceutical composition, respectively) is still ongoing when the administration of a second active ingredient (or of a second pharmaceutical composition, respectively) is started. Especially, the term "simultaneous" or "simultaneously" means that two active ingredients (or two pharmaceutical compositions, respectively) are administered at the same time, i.e. with the same starting and end time, as is for instance the case for the administration of two active ingredients comprised in a single pharmaceutical composition.
The term "sequential" or "sequentially", when used in relation to the administration of active ingredients or of pharmaceutical compositions, means that the administration of a second active ingredient (or of a second pharmaceutical composition, respectively) is started less than one hour after the administration of a first active ingredient (or of a first pharmaceutical composition, respectively) has been finalized.
The term "separate" or "separately", when used in relation to the administration of active ingredients or of pharmaceutical compositions, means that the administration of a second active ingredient (or of a second pharmaceutical composition, respectively) is started one hour or more (and up to about twelve hours, up to about 24 hours, or up to about 7 days) after the administration of a first active ingredient (or of a first pharmaceutical composition, respectively) has been finalized.
The expressions "to be administered in combination" or "for use, in combination" mean simultaneous, sequential or separate, preferably sequential, administration of active ingredients or pharmaceutical compositions.
The term "route of administration", as used herein, refers to the path by which an active ingredient (e.g. in form of a pharmaceutical composition in a particular dosage form) enters the body. The active ingredients may be administered by enteral (especially oral) or parenteral administration (including topical application or inhalation).
Examples of dosage forms which may be used for the administration of the active ingredients are tablets, capsules, pills, powders, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, injectable aqueous or oily solutions or suspensions, suppositories, creams, gels, ear or eye drops, nasal spray, skin patches, or aerosols. Dosage forms for oral administration, such as tablets, capsules, pills, solutions or suspensions are preferred. In case the two active ingredients are comprised in separated pharmaceutical compositions, said separated pharmaceutical compositions may be administered by the same or different routes of administration using the same or different dosage forms.
For the sake of clarity, relapsing multiple sclerosis means relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis which includes forms of multiple sclerosis with relapses. Examples of relapsing multiple sclerosis are relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, secondary progressive multiple sclerosis with relapses, and progressive relapsing multiple sclerosis.
The production of pharmaceutical compositions can be effected in a manner which will be familiar to any person skilled in the art (see for example Remington, The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st Edition (2005), Part 5, "Pharmaceutical Manufacturing"
[published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins]) by bringing COMPOUND 1 and/or a fumarate derivative which is selected from the group consisting of methyl fumarate, dimethyl fumarate, (N,N-diethylcarbamoyl)methyl methyl (2E)but-2-ene-1,4-dioate, and 2-(2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl methyl (2E)but-2-ene-1,4-dioate, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, optionally in combination with other therapeutically valuable substances, into a galenical administration form together with suitable, non-toxic, inert, therapeutically compatible solid or liquid carrier materials and, if desired, usual pharmaceutical adjuvants. Formulations for dimethyl fumarate are described in e.g. WO
00/030622 and WO 2010/079222.
The optimal dosing regimen (i.e., the magnitude of the dose and the dosing frequency) for each of the two active ingredients of the pharmaceutical combination according to the present invention may vary depending upon the route of administration, the dosage form, the disease or disorder to be treated, and the particular second active ingredient (fumarate derivative) applied. Further, the dose and/or the dosing frequency may be different during the initial phase and the later phase of the treatment for the first and/or the second active ingredient of the pharmaceutical combination. A preferred dosing regimen for COMPOUND
1 has been disclosed in WO 2009/115954. A preferred maintenance dose for COMPOUND
1 is 10 mg or 20 mg orally once daily, such as especially 20 mg orally once daily. A
preferred dosing regimen for dimethyl fumarate is disclosed in WO 2008/097596 (see also US 8,399,514). Most preferably dimethyl fumarate is administered at a starting dose of 120 mg twice a day, orally, for 7 days and a maintenance dose after 7 days of 240 mg twice a day, orally, especially in case of an immediate release formulation such as the one used for Tecfidera0. A preferred dosing regimen for a controlled release pharmaceutical composition of monomethyl fumarate or dimethyl fumarate is disclosed in EP
2316430. A
preferred dose for XP23829 is 800 mg orally once daily or 400 mg orally twice daily. A
preferred dose for ALKS 8700 is 420 mg orally twice daily.
The present invention also includes isotopically labelled, especially 2H
(deuterium) labelled active ingredients, which active ingredients are identical to the active ingredients as defined in embodiment 1) except that one or more atoms have each been replaced by an atom having the same atomic number but an atomic mass different from the atomic mass usually found in nature. Isotopically labelled, especially 2H (deuterium) labelled active ingredients and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are within the scope of the present invention.
Substitution of hydrogen with the heavier isotope 2H (deuterium) may lead to greater metabolic stability, resulting e.g. in increased in-vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, or may lead to reduced inhibition of cytochrome P450 enzymes, resulting e.g. in an improved safety profile. In one embodiment only one of the two active ingredients of the pharmaceutical combination is isotopically labelled. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the active ingredients are not isotopically labelled, or one active ingredient is not isotopically labelled and the other active ingredient is labelled only with one or more deuterium atoms, or both active ingredients are each labelled only with one or more deuterium atoms. In a most preferred embodiment, the active ingredients are not isotopically labelled at all. Isotopically labelled active ingredients may be prepared in analogy to the methods described for the not isotopically labelled active ingredients, but using the appropriate isotopic variation of suitable reagents or starting materials.
The term "about" placed before a numerical value "X" refers in the current application to an interval extending from X minus 10% of X to X plus 10% of X.
Biological assay:
The efficacy of dimethyl fumarate (DMF) in acute monophasic models of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) can be determined in a pilot experiment.
Female Lewis rats are immunized with an emulsion of myelin basic protein (MBP) from Guinea pig in complete Freund's adjuvant. A total of 200 micrograms of MBP is injected per rat at two sites subcutaneously (right paw and base of tail). Within 10 days the rats develop signs of paralysis which will be graded on a scale from 0 to 15 assessing the tail and each limb individually according to the method originally described by Weaver A. et al., FASEB
J., 2005, 19(12): 1668-1670. The disease takes an acute monophasic course and is self-remitting. Usually by day 21 clinical scores reach values below 3Ø
Groups of 10 to 14 rats are dosed starting at the day of disease induction (day 0) with different doses of DMF in the range between 40 and 160 mg/kg once daily (q.d.). Clinical scores are assessed on a daily basis and disease development is compared between vehicle-treated rats and rats receiving DMF (vehicle: 0.5%
Methylcellulose/0.5% Tween0 80). In parallel, body weights of the rats are monitored on a daily basis to follow general health. The experiment is terminated at day 21 whereupon hematology can be measured.
Plasma samples can be taken for compound concentration determination and for the measurement of protein markers. Different organs may be isolated and fixed for histopathological examination, particularly the spinal cord and the brain.
Spinal cord tissue preparations can be used to assess the degree of demyelination, neuronal loss and inflammatory cell infiltration by different staining methods (H&E, Luxol Fast Blue for myelin, MBP, NeuN, CD3, Nr12 and other markers by immunohistochemistry for demyelination, neuronal loss, T cell infiltration, antioxidant pathway activation and other pathways, respectively). Additional tissue samples may be preserved in RNAlater0 solution for analysis of gene expression.
In parallel to the measurement of efficacy of DMF in the EAE model, a second pilot experiment is required. Healthy female Lewis rats will receive ponesimod at different doses in the range from 0.3 to 100 mg/kg. The goal is to assess the dose-effect relationship of ponesimod on lymphocyte count in peripheral blood in this strain of rat.
Based on the first pilot experiment described above one dose of DMF is selected for the combination efficacy experiment. The dose selected exerts partial efficacy between none and strongest efficacy on EAE scores (dose 120 mg/kg).
Based on the second pilot experiment using ponesimod, the dose selected shows full efficacy on lymphocyte count reduction (dose 100 mg/kg).
The combination efficacy experiment is performed in the same rat EAE model as described for the first pilot experiment. It consists of four treatment groups:
1. Vehicle (0.5% Methylcellulose/0.5% Tween0 80) q.d., from day 0 2. DMF (120 mg/kg) q.d., from day 0 3. Ponesimod (100 mg/kg) q.d., from day 0 4. DMF (120 mg/kg) q.d., from day 0 + ponesimod (100 mg/kg) q.d., from day 0 In life and termination endpoints are the same as described for the first pilot experiment.
The goal of this experiment is to show that the addition of a dose of ponesimod, that is fully efficacious on lymphocyte count, shows added benefit to a partially efficacious dose of DMF in a model of EAE.
The results from the combination efficacy experiment are shown in Fig. 1. As can be seen from Fig. 1, both compounds, ponesimod and DMF exhibit efficacy on the clinical course of EAE in the rat monophasic EAE model. Ponesimod showed a marked and statistically significant effect while DMF alone showed a moderate effect during the ascending phase of the disease. When combined, the two compounds showed synergistic efficacy from day 16 onwards, where DMF alone had no effect on clinical score anymore.
